On track to getting ready for next weekend! Installed AP brakes, dropped off the OEM wheels for getting RT660s mounted, will install rear UCA tomorrow, and will get the car aligned on Wednesday.



Realized on Saturday that none of my Motive bleeders work.


The correct one is 1107. It's a bit finicky, though. Once it starts going down, you should not twist it more than 1/8 turn, or it gets stuck. I had to remove it using plyers during my first trial!




Removed the charcoal filter. It's thicker than I thought.


I'm guessing these are strap rings used during the transportation of the cars? Anyway, I wonder if I can use them as well on the trailer..


325mm 2-piece AP rotors are 16.4 lbs. OEM are 17.1 lbs.


AP Caliper is 4.9 lbs, pads are 2.3 lbs, mounting hardware per side is 1.4 lbs, and SS lines are 0.2 lbs; 8.8 lbs.


OEM calipers with all hardware and lines are 14.4 lbs each.

TOTAL system:
OEM: 31.5 lbs
AP 325mm: 25.2 lbs (6.3 lbs lighter per side)


It's a bit hard to see, but Ferodo front pad is at the top, and the OEM pad is at the bottom.


Dropping another 1.2 lbs unsprung weight with the dust shield delete (as recommended by AP racing instructions).


Finished!!
